The show includes segments of powerful and investigative documentaries such as "Dark Light of Dawn" (about military repression under the new civilian rule in Guatemala) and "Enough Crying of Tears" about El Salvador.

Subject: Good intro to US/Central America in the 80's
This film provides a good intro to what was happening in Central America in the 80's with regards to the US involvement/interference with these poor small countries. The orchestration of wars in the name of democracy for corporate profit have become all too familiar. This film, though technically rough is sweet and easy to watch.
